Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders are coming off of their first loss of the season after falling to Green Bay last Thursday night at Lambeau Field, 27-18, in a game where the Packers were consistently in control.
Though the loss was bad, the news of losing veteran running back Austin Ekeler for the rest of the season due to a torn Achilles may outweigh the disappointing performance on primetime.
Ekeler began this season as the featured back, even with the sudden emergence of seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt taking over training camp in Ashburn this past August. Through two games, Ekeler was outsnapping...

The Washington Commanders had several players leave Thursday night’s game against the Packers with injuries, and two of them will require season-ending surgeries. RB Austin Ekeler(Achilles) and DE Deatrich Wise(calf) will be placed on injured reserve soon, and Washington will need to make some roster moves to fill out their depth.
The Commanders only have one RB on the practice squad, rookie UDFA Donovan Edwards from Michigan. They’re reportedly adding another one today, with former Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds signing to the practice squad. Edmonds(29) was placed on IR both seasons he was with the Buccaneers, and last year’s knee...

Jhabvala: Daniels has faced a four-man rush on 75 percent of his dropbacks. Defenses are wreaking havoc on Washington’s O-line without pulling from their coverage.
I want to believe things will get better, especially when Cosmi returns from the physically unable to perform list (he’ll be eligible in Week 5 against the L.A. Chargers, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be medically cleared and ready to play by then). But it may be time for coach Dan Quinn to make...

The Washington Commanders are 1-1 after opening the season with a home win over the New York Giants, and a road loss to the Green Bay Packers on a short week. The Commanders suffered several injuries that will affect them now, and the rest of the season. RB Austin Ekeler(Achilles) and DE Deatrich Wise(calf) will require surgery, ending their seasons. TE John Bates and WR Noah Brown both exited the Packers game with hamstring injuries, and QB Jayden Daniels reportedly got a precautionary MRI on his knee after taking more hits than the team would have liked from Green Bay’s...

The numbers showed that the team couldn’t get anything going, and conversions were a big part of that. The Commanders went 5-16 on third downs on Thursday, and you can’t expect to win anything with those numbers. We also saw a more conservative play calling from an aggressive Kliff Kingsbury, who only went for it on fourth down three times, with only one conversion. They elected to kick a field...

The scene was grim Thursday night after Deatrich Wise was rolled up from behind by another player during a field goal attempt. Washington players congregated on the field to show their support and concern while the cart rolled out to collect the respected veteran and former Super Bowl champion. Fans immediately feared the worst, and their concerns of a season-ending injury were confirmed on Friday:
Wise was brought in this offseason to add size and physicality on the edge along with some pass rushing ability, recording 5 sacks last year. Deatrich acquitted himself well in his Commanders’ debut, loggin 2...
